As a globally active solution pro-

vider for the precast parts in-

dustry, we support you, from the

first cost estimate to the plan-

ning and right up to production

and assembly.

Therefore, our solutions play a cruci-

al role in the entire BIM process.

We offer automation and the highest

efficiency with serial production and

provide flexible, high-performance

functions for the planning and pro-

duction of demanding and complex

precast parts.

Our service portfolio:

• SalesManager: Our solution for

model-based quantity and mass

calculation on the basis of PLAN-

BAR - all without CAD knowled-

ge.

• PLANBAR: The Precast Design

Tool, which supports you optimal-

ly with precast parts planning in

any complexity.

• TIM: The Technical Information

Manager, which sustainably

optimises your processes as

an information and integration

platform.

• mTIM: The TIM app, which ma-

kes the building model mobile.

Technical Information Manager

Increasingly complex building pro-

jects worldwide require new and

more modern working methods,

in order to build sustainable and

cost-effectively, on the one hand,

while avoiding building defects, on

the other hand.

While errors in the planning phase

are still relatively easy to rectify,

incorrectly delivered precast parts

are the “worst case scenario” in

building progress.

With TIM, we are providing you with

a software solution, which improves

the planning and information area in

your precast parts company.

As an integration platform, TIM

links different IT systems and there-

by ensures quick and smooth-run-

ning data interchange - also across

several locations or company

boundaries.

Therefore, TIM integrates seam-

lessly into the openBIM process.

other data sources• Visualisation of the model in 3D• Management of the process• Administration of plans• Simulation of delivery, producti-

on and assembly processes• Planning of manual production• Stacking of elements in 3D• Generation of reports• Generation of data for production

Entire process chains can be formed, in order to realise even complex scenarios.

Take advantage of the diverse possibilities. We will be pleased to develop an optimum process concept with you.

In many cases, complex processes requi-

re cooperation between various IT sys-

tems.

As an integration platform, TIM is able to

exchange information between ERP, CAD and

production systems in a transparent manner.

Send the project master data from the ERP

to TIM. TIM then makes these data available

in PLANBAR. This way the maintenance effort

is concentrated in one place and thereby mi-

nimised.

Take the production and delivery dates out

of the ERP and simulate the process in the as-

sembler.

Generate information about the material re-

quirement for the ERP promptly and auto-

matically on the basis of the current CAD data,

in order to prevent material-related production

failures.

Send the order positions of a project to TIM.

TIM provides this information to PLANBAR, so

that each engineer is precisely informed about

which element types are ordered. During the

course of this, the ERP system can also pro-

vide the settlement information. PLANBAR

automatically calculates the exact values on

the basis of this information and TIM then ma-

kes them available to the ERP.

Concrete precast parts are subject to a

planning, production, delivery and as-

sembly process.

The integrated status management visua-

lises the respective current status for each

element and thereby informs work prepara-

tion, production, sales, project management

and management about the process progress

of the building project in a simple way.

For this, the freely configurable system for

status administration offers the option to

precisely map your customised work process

for precast part elements.

The process can be influenced by:

• the manual change of a user,

• a function call by the user, which influen-

ces the status (e.g. the user places an ele-

ment on a stack, after this, the status of the

element is automatically set to “stacked”),

• an external system (e.g. a control system

can set the status of an element to “pro-

duced”, the ERP system to the “invoiced”

status),

• a change in mTIM (mobile TIM solution).

In the assembler, every project can be

classified as production, delivery and as-

sembly phase.

Allocate fixed deadlines and receive a perfectly

coordinated construction schedule.

In a simple way, you can then allocate the

precast parts from the 3D model to the various

phases. If necessary, it is possible to pass on

the phases with the deadlines and the alloca-

tion of the elements to external systems (e.g.

ERP).

Using the 3D simulation, you can now check

the order and chronological sequence of your

project.

For precast parts operations with stationary

production plants, the Production Manager

is the perfect tool for optimised production

planning.

Plan your production on the basis of the 3D

model and in consideration of the stack infor-

mation and/or the process planning from the

assembler. Any conflicts are already notified

during the configuration.

For a detailed assessment of the production

options, you can show installation parts and

reinforcement in the 3D model on the pallet.

Then, generate all of the necessary data, plans

and lists for production.

Stack your elements in 3D with the Delivery Manager.

With the assembler, the planning work achieves a new quality and opens up completely new options in communication with all project participants.

The Production Manager is the ideal plan-ning tool for stationary production.

In the project overview, you receive a list

of all available projects, which have been

imported by PLANBAR or an appropriate

data source.

After the selection of a project or a part of it - the

building structure of the project helps you with

your orientation - you can explore the 3D buil-

ding model and retrieve information about every

precast part, geometry of installation parts right

up to reinforcement and the element plans.

The integrated plan management also provi-

des you with all further plans with precast parts

from the CAD (e.g. installation plans, formwork

plans). Send these for approval using the integra-

ted e-mail function and automatically change the

status of the elements, if necessary.

The Delivery Manager Module offers you the

option of performing the stacking of the ele-

ments in 3D. Plan your virtual transport racks

directly from the 3D model or the list of elements.

During stacking, TIM automatically checks

whether it is still possible due to their freely de-

finable conditions. In case of conflicts, you will

automatically be warned.

You can generate report, production and sett-

lement data easily and quickly with the Report

and Production Data Manager.

We will be pleased to adapt these to your individual require-ments or add further reports.

The Report and Pro-duction Data Manager enables the issuing of lists in various formats.

mTIM offers the ideal information plat-

form on the building site and when you

are on the go for project management,

sales and site managers.

This makes building site meetings easy and

complex issues can be conveniently discus-

sed on the basis of the 3D model.

Do you want to know where a delivered ele-

ment is situated in the building model? Sim-

ply scan the barcode of the element and the

mTIM will immediately show you the position

of the element. This way, errors are avoided

and the assembly process can be organised

in a quick and transparent manner.

However, mTIM does not only provide infor-

mation, it also helps to document the assem-

bly progress.

Change the status of an element to “assem-

bled” on the building site and this informati-

on will be transferred automatically to TIM.

Therefore, nothing more stands in the way of

invoicing.

Replace your assembly report with a mTIM

report and synchronize these data with your

company systems.

The Report and Production Data Mana-

ger is the ideal platform for data gene-

ration.

Whether it is UNI, PXML, ADS, BVBS or IFC,

TIM generates these data according to your

individual requirements.

The process can either be automated or integ-

rated into a complex work process.

Some examples:

• After each import of new CAD data into

TIM, an updated PXML file is sent to the

ERP system, where the material compari-

son takes place.

• Depending on the production site, different

file formats are generated for the control

systems used there. Every company has cle-

ar ideas about how lists and reports should

look in its organisation.

The Report and Production Data Manager

provides you with the following standard re-

ports, inter alia:

• Individual panel setup

• Measurement sheet

• Measurement list

• Fixtures list

• Cutting list

• Stack list

• ADS list
